i have a 2014 subaru forester with the navigation, and i dont like that radio, is it possible to upgrade to the next gen subaru stereo like thats in the 2017 foresters? and also what about upgrading to a more modern frameless auto dimming mirror if i already have an auto dimming mirror, i want to get the newer one with homelink

How did you get those clips undone for the seat heater and x mode? I cannot get them unseated. I see the small black tabs front and rear but I can’t seem to get them out.

As a fellow fatty, I'm delighted that the one number you keep memorized is to a pizza place. Great breakdown of three areas where the 2014 Forester falls short, btw. Even the speech quality of that BT phone system is bunk; I have to levitate my phone on my lap for best connectivity. With my phone in a cradle, the conversation often stutters, and come to think of it, just making/maintaining the BT link can be dicey sometimes. WARNING: Don't ever turn the car off or put it in gear while attempting to update the radio firmware via USB, as you WILL CORRUPT THE HEAD UNIT and require help from the dealer to reset that bad boy.

How are the LED brake lights holding? Mines arrived today. Going to buy several male & female tip-top connectors. I wished you showed more on the video how to connect the connectors.
@clairoux.matthew6 жыл бұрын
They are doing great, still going strong, fairly cheap too that if they do ever go out I will just replace them. It's a T tap connector so one side cuts a small slit into the existing wire and the other side grabs on to the new wire. Very easy set up.
